The Drives get lost in a love-struck daydream on "Rebel." The indie rock duo of Andrew Levin and Casey Chen recall the effusiveness that comes from imagining the life of someone whose captivated your heart, like that object of affection who involuntarily blurs your senses and everything feels bright and new. Led by a blithesome hook that recalls Robert Smith at his cheeriest, the wholesome track takes flight with a jangly arrangement and a minimal swirl of sparkling synths. Its uptempo rhythm rushes through with a hazy sweetness that will have you smiling from ear to ear.
"Rebel" follows the duo’s 2017 debut EP, Am I Alright? – Juan Rodríguez
